Oh, Martha!


I was so excited to make Martha Stewart's
homemade strawberry cupcakes
with homemade strawberry meringue buttercream frosting.

Just look at this wonderful recipe. :-)
I watched the little video on the left 
and fell completely in love with that beautiful frosting 
and the tiny wild strawberries.

I read the reviews of all the trouble 
that others were having with the frosting, 
but I was not to be deterred! ;-)

Did I make the beautiful, lovely, buttercream??
NO!  I made a sloppy mess like most of the others did that tried it.

Luckily I had some cream cheese in the fridge -
to the rescue!
I just added some


I am still a huge fan of Martha
the cupcakes were very tasty, 
and I do want to succeed at the 
one day!
